I built a new system recently with windows XP Pro, ASUS MB, 160 gb disk1 and
200 gb disk 2. The original installation did not have XP SP1 or SP2. I have
since installed SP2.
Disk1 (160 gb) appears as a 127 gb partition and a 21 gb unallocated
partition, resulted from the initial XP installation limitation of 137 gb.
Disk2 (200 gb) appears as 186 gb, the full disk appears usable.
How do I merge the Disk1 127 gb partition and 21 gb unallocated partition
into a single partition? I'd like to do this in XP or with freeware to avoid
buying additional sw. Another thread recommended "Partition Magic", the
www.soft32.com web page stated there is 80 gb hard drive limit, so the free
demo may not work. Are there any other cost effective methods to merge the
partitions?
thanks.
